Solar panels and battery storage for Hull homes
Hull is about 38 miles north-east of our Retford office, so it's well within reach for home visits and installs. We also cover the East Riding and the rest of the Humber area.
Hull is flat, so hills rarely shade a roof here, though neighbouring buildings, trees and chimneys still can. We check exactly what shades yours when we design your system.
Nearly half of Hull households (46.7%) live in a terraced house, about twice the England figure of 23.0%, according to the 2021 Census. Terraces have smaller roofs, but they can still take panels: the Energy Saving Trust's rough guide is about four for a mid-terrace and eight for an end-terrace.

Planning permission in Hull
Hull City Council handles planning. Most houses don't need permission for rooftop solar panels, but Hull has many conservation areas, and several have Article 4 directions. In the Avenues and Pearson Park conservation area, the Article 4 direction covers solar panels, so they may need planning permission there. We check your address before we quote.
Where the rules are tighter
- Many conservation areas
- Article 4 directions
- The Avenues and Pearson Park conservation area
Northern Powergrid runs the local electricity network. Most home systems only need notifying after they're switched on; bigger ones need approval first. We handle both.
The national rules changed on 27 August 2026: planning permission for solar panels has the current limits.
